This year the SEGF received 96 eligible grant applications. Of the applications received, 57 were selected to receive funding: US$116,312.00 and CAN$67,950.00 will be distributed in student grant awards. These grants will assist students with field and laboratory expenses for thesis research on mineral deposits as required for graduate degrees at accredited universities. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and are available to students worldwide. This year’s successful candidates attend 38 different universities in 10 countries and distributed as follows: United States – 16, Canada – 15, Australia – 12, China – 4, UK – 3, Argentina – 2, Slovakia – 2, and one each from Japan, Poland and Spain. The awards are listed in the following format: grant recipient, dollar amount (in U.S. dollars unless otherwise designated), university, country, degree, and project name/area. Hugh E.
